I like ‘more’ as much as the next guy. More money, more “Pacific Rim” and more hard drives (I have always had a thing for storage space). Where ‘more’ doesn’t work so well for is when you have too many villains. After all, Sam Raimi is a pretty talented director yet his “Spider-Man 3” was […]
I think Marvel Studios “The Avengers” is – so far – the best superhero film ever made. It takes itself seriously enough that it doesn’t come off as silly, yet remembers that this stuff is based on comic books, which were originally geared toward children (though in places like Japan – and to an extent […]
Pictures from James Gunn’s “Guardians Of The Galaxy” have begun to turn up all over the Internets, and despite there being very little evidence to base an opinion (an informed one, at any rate) everyone has begun to chime in about the quality of the film. It’s worth mentioned that I am talking about a […]
Neil Blomkamp’s “Elysium” is somewhat of a novelty these days: A science fiction film that has something not only to say about where we are as a species, but where we are going. Though, before I begin, I need to get something off my chest. Some critics, who actually get paid for their work, have […]
Not quite my cup of tea, but for those that grew up with Jim Henson’s creations (or have children that they want to introduce to them), Why not?
Now this I like! Many of the beats are the same from the earlier trailer, but everything looks more personal, more intense. The relationship between Thor and Loki is also given more attention, which is always a good thing. There’s humor present as well, though mainly of the relationship-type (though Thor’s response after defeating the […]
Whether or not Gavin Hood’s “Ender’s Game” succeeds or not, I think that, as a director, he gets a bad rap. Sure, he directed the execrable “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” – though he also had a hand in the surprisingly entertaining series “Breakout Kings,” currently on Netfilx, as well as the Academy Award winning film “Tsotsi” […]
The figure to the right of Bryan Singer is a Sentinel, from the director’s upcoming X-Men adventure, “Days Of Future Past” (which is based upon a storyline from the long-running Marvel Comics series). I am not crazy about how the Sentinel looks – especially considering how much better it looks in the comics – though […]
Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” may have received an important boost toward a sequel, courtesy of a $45 million opening in China. The giant robot versus monster feature has earned almost $95 million domestically, though internationally (including the Chinese box office), has surpassed $200 million dollars. As a result, the odds for a sequel odds […]
Thanks goes out to Adam Chitwood over at Collider for posting this trailer (It shows less than than the “Riddick” Red Band trailer already released, which isn’t a bad thing since that trailer revealed a little too much at times). Fortunately, what hasn’t changed is that this movie looks awesome.
